Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Lighthouse Board is inviting tenders for the refurbishment and upgrade of Barra Head Lighthouse, located on the southernmost island in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. This procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with bids due by 21 June 2019. The contract value is estimated at £500,000 and is expected to commence on 26 August 2019, ending on 14 January 2020. The project requires significant construction and civil engineering works, including the dismantling of existing structures and the installation of new facilities.

This opportunity may be particularly beneficial for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in construction, electrical installation, plumbing, or carpentry. Given the unique nature of the site, which can only be accessed by helicopter, interested businesses should be prepared to meet specific safety training requirements and must attend a mandatory site visit on 6 June 2019. Companies skilled in handling remote site projects and with relevant certifications will find this tender an excellent avenue for growth in the public procurement market.
